You may notice this the next time you're at a McDonald's drive-thru (www.usatoday.com)

The fast-food giant said during the company’s Investor Day presentation Sept. 23 that it is launching the McDonald’s Media Network, a new advertising business that will allow other companies to place ads across McDonald’s digital platforms and restaurant screens.

McDonald’s began testing the idea in August 2026 at 450 company-owned U.S. restaurants, the chain said during the presentation. This does not include franchisees which are independently owned and operated.

The pilot features advertising from other companies on digital drive-thru menu boards after customers place their orders.

Between this, dynamic pricing, and the god awful food and service, there is no reason to keep eating this trash.

why on earth would I be at an american-owned fast food chain that is renowned for serving overpriced crap out together by somebody who couldn't give a half a fuck about the burger being even moderately presentable?

oh, and the drive thru? I haven't been in one of those in years. I'll walk inside, thanks, then bitch about how they're prioritizing drive thru customers over the one person literally standing in front of them
